[FOSS] How does one respond to this line of questioning?

Makes me be more productive *is* the point.  Why would anyone want to be
less productive ?

Oh, and anyone could read, reproduce, test or execute the work.  Sounds like
a positive proposition to me.

I appreciate the criticism of your reply.

How about:

me: It makes me more productive.

That opens up a lot of discussion possibilities about
productivity, corporate competitiveness, increased pay,
and doesn't have put the other guy on the defensive.
Well, unless he starts worrying about his own productivity.
